qChecking route alternatives
for an existing route
To recalculate the active route with a different
route planning method, you can modify
the Route settings. There is another way
to do this and to compare different route
alternatives with the same route planning
method. Do as follows:
1. If you are on the Map screen, tap
to return to the
Navigation menu.
2. In the Navigation menu, tap
.
3. Tap .
4. Tap .
5. You see the basic details of three route
alternatives with the selected route
planning method.
Tap any of them to see it on the map.
6. Or if you cannot find a good alternative,
tap
and scroll down for
routes with different routing methods.
7. Select one of the route alternatives then
tap and hold
for a few
seconds to return to the Map screen.
MMES recalculates the route. The orange
line now shows the new recommended
route.
qChanging the road types
used in route planning
To recalculate the active route with different
road type preferences, do as follows. These
changes can also be made in Settings (page
64).
1. On the Map screen, tap
and then
tap
.
2. Tap any of the listed road types to modify
the route. If needed, scroll the list for all
road types. You have the following options:
- You might need to
avoid freeways when you are driving
a slow car or you are towing another
vehicle.
- Charge roads are
pay roads where you can purchase
a pass or vignette to use the road for
a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from
toll roads.

Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button Description
Some parameters of your car can be set. These are taken into account in route calculation.
On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road network on the map. Switch to off-road navigation to navigate
between destinations in a straight line.
The route calculation can be optimized for different situations by changing the planning method. See below for details.
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the
excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the My Route screen, and the part
of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different color on the map.
In the list of road types you can see in how many segments and what total length of the road type is used in the current route.
Button Description
You might need to avoid freeways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
MMES includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, MMES
plans the best toll-free route.
MMES includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
MMES excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed
limit on them.
If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route compared to the best green alternative on the screen when
confirming the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method, you can quickly switch to Green mode.
